Chili Garlic Oil

Ingredients:

1/4 cup additional peanut oil
4/5 large cloves of garlic chopped
3 Tb chili powder
1 Tb cracked red pepper
pinch of salt

Recipe:

Heat oil in a tall pan. 

Add chopped garlic and let it cook until lightly brown.
Add cracked red pepper.
Remove from the heat and add chili powder (it burns easily).
Add salt to taste.
Cool and pour in a glass jar and store it in refrigerator. 

Notes:

1) It keeps well in refrigerator for many weeks.. Take it out and let it thaw before using it.
2)I serve this chili oil with many soupy curried vegetables like spinach/methi bhajis.
3) I use it with Chinese, Thai or Italian dishes.
4) You can use it as a condiment with fresh chapatis, phulkas. 
5) when I make pita bread pizza,  I spread this oil on pita bread before adding tomato sauce and then add veggies and cheese on top of it.
